Full Description
Portrush Coastal Zone is a handy indoor stop for families who want to discover a little more about the wildlife and coastline of the North Coast. It is especially useful when the weather changes and you still want something interesting for the children to do.
The coastal and marine displays give curious wee ones a chance to learn about the creatures and habitats found around our shores. Older children may enjoy finding out more about the sea and local conservation, while younger ones can have fun looking closely at the exhibits and asking plenty of questions.
Because this is a smaller visitor attraction, it works particularly well alongside a beach walk, harbour visit or another stop in Portrush rather than as a full-day outing. Check current opening arrangements before travelling, as public access can be seasonal or subject to change.
What You'll Find
Inside, families can learn about the local marine environment, coastal wildlife and the natural world around Portrush. Displays and visitor arrangements can change, so it’s worth checking what’s currently available.
